remorseless profiteering
Mother Earth's face scared
resources raped and pillaged 
smoke reaches the distant stars

The Book Is Broken

don't thumb to page twenty six; 
the book is broken. 
profiteering is proving to be 
more useful than 
words softly spoken. 
  
wave ya hands 'round 
and take down the banners 
that hung since 
we heard the new sound. 
they ain't allowed 
no more. 
  
shoes crafted 
from pure pleather. 
updated ethics 
and a concern 
for the weather.

Premium Member Cry For War


They burst in the skies
Like radiant May flowers

They bring no joy
Only death and despair

Death unto death
We're dancing in their skeletons

A prophet of war
Profiteering from distraction

Sick children call for mom
But they'll never hear her call

The clock will strike midnight
And an ignorant generation is lost

Actors turned politicians
The greatest dealers of death

Do you still cry for war
Knowing it will end us all
